Two Florida men allegedly ambushed and murdered another man Monday evening. When police arrived to investigate, they found one of the alleged killers, Dakota Lee Croft, hanging from a tree in the backyard.
Dustin McMillan, 33, told police he and Croft had been drinking and came up with a plan to murder William Scott Trudell "for being a 'cop caller' and disrespecting women in the home," the Hernando County Sheriff's Office wrote in a statement.
When one of Trudell's family members reportedly found his body in the garage, McMillan and Croft rushed to clean up the scene, dragging Trudell's body to a nearby wooded area.
Croft is believed to have hanged himself from the tree after helping clear the garage of evidence.
When police arrived at the residence to conduct a wellness check on Trudell, McMillan initially refused to let them inside the Spring Hill home, located about 50 miles north of Tampa.
